I'm a mideval man

Post by Mortus »

The Mideval week on Gotland (big island off the Swedish coast) starts on sunday. I'm going there with a bunch of friends on friday, staying a week or two depending on the weather and our supply of mead :wink: I finished my costume yesterday, have borrowed clothes from 3 different people :) Will get some pictures from the week uploaded when I get back.

Every year during one week in August, we blow life into history. The Medieval market gets into life in Gotlandsänget and Paviljongsplan, where stonemasons and smiths work alongside the clattering of horses’ hooves and bleating sheep.

A week filled with colour and events, including music, pageants and jousting tournaments. A huge variety of lectures and study courses are also held. A mixture of sobriety and merriment, education and festivities.
